Meghan Markle’s newly resurfaced blog reveals close bond with now-estranged father amid new war with sister
Fox News
Meghan Markle's post about her estranged father, former Hollywood lighting director Thomas Markle, makes royal experts wonder why the Duchess of Sussex hasn't reconciled with him.
This comes as Markle's estranged half-sister, Samantha Markle, sued the duchess for allegedly making false statements during an interview with Oprah Winfrey. "'I just need you to tell me. And if you tell me the truth, we can help.' And he wasn't able to do that." — Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, on a conversation she had with her father regarding tabloids #OprahMeghanHarry pic.twitter.com/XhPwGM0Uvl Stephanie Nolasco covers entertainment at Foxnews.com.
Samantha accused her younger sibling of defamation "based on demonstrably false and malicious statements" made in the sit-down on March 7, 2021. Samantha alleged that the duchess’ "lies" were "designed to destroy [her] reputation" and have subjected her to "humiliation, shame and hatred on a worldwide scale." Samantha wants the former "Suits" star to admit she lied about their sibling relationship and upbringing to sell a "rags-to-royalty" narrative.
"After all the turmoil and acrimony, Meghan's words of love for her father seem more poignant than ever," Christopher Anderson, author of "The King," told Fox News Digital. "There's plenty of blame to go around, I suppose. But it seems to me that Meghan, whose ‘Tig’ posts are brimming with wokeness, would be able to do whatever it takes to heal her relationship with her father before it's too late."
